Saying that not wanting your partner to make intimate contact with someone else is a heteronormative boundary is gross as gently caress and lots of LGBTQ people would consider it a boundary :chloe: if you're fine with it great, but the guy in the story for which this is all the context for wasnt okay with it, and it sure as hell isnt just a straight people boundary.

Just piss off with your “gross” and your :chloe:s

Plus the person who reported it in the first place obviously thought something was wrong.

There is very little evidence of your idea outside that’s what you personally want to believe

There's very little evidence ether way. I was disagreeing with your positive affirmation that the girlfriend was expressing guilt or whatever because that's not in the story as-written

What about the post where the OP sent pictures of her feet to a pervert for some quick cash? Some posters were freaking out about how that was cheating, though personally I would encourage my girlfriend to milk that poo poo as long as she could.

For real those were some hot spicy takes. I really don't think that this thread is representative of what's "normal" in most contexts, much less in relationships lol

I did not gloss over it. I wrote that in this case it was clearly cheating.

My post was aimed at the general discussion of what cheating is.

so where is the boundary in your book? is getting a hanjo fair game, or is it only OK to give but not receive? does it matter whether you/they come?

I’ve said it three times already, but once more I guess: boundaries are what is agreed upon in a relationship. There is no inherent boundary. I myself would never limit my partner on any form of dick-touching they would desire.

There is nothing hetero about "don't sex touch other people who aren't us when we are in a relationship". The only one drawing strict normative lines here is the couple palookas claiming the entire LGB+ universe is on their frequency.

There are certainly inherent boundaries in monogamy. Not every relationship has to be monogamous, and if your open relationship works for you that's fine, but it's more than a bit silly to act incredulous that other people actually practice monogamy.

Like seriously if it's not a boundary for you that's great, but acting like it's not a common boundary for people of all sexualities is weird as hell, and saying monogamy is heteronormative is literally a stereotype used against LGBTQ people all the time.

Counter argument: there is absolutely something hetero about having a light dick fondling as a relationship breaker.

I mean, why should it be?
It is clearly a patriarchal norm. And when your relationship is outside of the patriarchy, as gay relationships mostly are, you are free of this norm. And what would this norm really add to a relationship? What is the value of not-touching random dicks between two people who share a deeper emotional bond?

Imo monogamy is only heteronormative if presented as a case of a partner of one gender owning the other, and honestly that doesn't tend to result in actual... monogamy...

People can be in committed relationships to each other while also agreeing that some sexual interactions are okay while others aren't, you don't have to form a polycule or whatever just because you think it's okay for your husband to grope some boobs from time to time.

I would argue that's not an entirely closed relationship. It can be on a spectrum.

Edit: like there's definitely relationships that are emotionally exclusive and with certain sexual contact allowed outside the relationship. Would that not be a form of open relationship? Is there a more preferred term for that?

You can have still define boundaries inside an open relationship. "Hand sex is OK but not penetrative sex" seems a bit arbitrary to me, but it's his relationship and he can do what he wants.

You can define boundaries either way but you seem to be suggesting that monogamy-defining boundaries are written in stone like the 10 commandments or something. Clearly different people are going to have different ideas about what those boundaries are. Like, is merely touching someone's genitals "hand sex"? I don't think it is. Or as was brought up earlier, is sending a picture of your feet to someone a non-monogamous act like some people in this thread seemed to conclude that it was? I don't think that should be either, but those other posters clearly do.

I totally get that these norms exist in society, and that is actually what a norm means; people follow them to fit in society. I certainly don’t judge anybody for doing so. But you don’t have to, you can have different relationship and still be faithfull within the boundaries of that relationship.

We have a common understanding of what monogamous means, thank you for your interest (???). Touching a stripper's dong with 30 other people doing the same doesn't break that trust

That said I have no interest in stroking stripper dong, I don't even want to know where that thing's been

You're conflating two different things. You seem to largely be making the argument that the woman in the story was probably just touching a dick for laffs and not seriously engaging in a sexual act, Some Fun is arguing that it doesn't matter how far she might have gone because the idea that orgasms outside of penetrative sex count as sex is heteronormative (???)

It's true that the boundaries are pretty fuzzy but "giving/receiving an orgasm to/from someone else is cheating/non-monogamous behavior" has a broad consensus, and by extension "doing things designed to give/receive an orgasm is cheating/non-monogamous behavior even if you don't go all the way" is also pretty uncontroversial.
